That’s kind of similar to country though as well, so you have to be careful there.

The vocals are always really hot in the mix because for Christian music, the words are the most important part. Some pop and country music has a similar sheen, but the Christian sheen is like a blander sheen somehow. Christian music often has a sheen to it that other music doesn’t have. I’m really not trying to throw mud here, I’m being honest at how I am good at this game. If I hear a song, and I hear any sort of pretending or false emotion, that’s a good first indicator. This is something I can simply feel at a gut level. But for me (and I’m actually one of the better players of the game if I must say so myself), I find something very disingenuous about most Christian music. I’m always trying to figure out what it is that makes something sound like Christian music, because there’s definitely something… I’d love to get some of your thoughts about it. Far before any Christian lingo is uttered to make it clear.

It is easy for me to spot a Christian music radio station within about 3 seconds. Especially when you talk about radio stations. The person who is most accurate with his or her guesses is the winner. Basically the game is simply playing a very short clip of music and having someone guess whether it is “Christian” or “secular” music.

Waiting to board a plane, waiting for the bus to arrive at the venue, waiting for sound check…etc One of the many games that people in our band have implemented now and then to fill the waiting time is a little game we might call the “Christian or secular” game.
